Branimir Radosavljevic: "I love to fight, there is nothing better in the world!"
Branimir "Gorilla" Radosavljevic is another one in the line of fresh faces at Challengers 4. Member of MMA Vienna will make his debut apperance versus Minel Becirovic from Croatia in a middleweight fight.
Radosavljevic is of Albanian and Serbian descent but lives in Austria where he also trains. He started his career with clasic boxing as his father was a professional boxer in Yugoslavia. "My family supports me on my path of becoming an MMA fighter. My father was a professional boxer in Yugoslavia and boxed for the national team. Now he's in my team as my boxing coach," stated 26-year-old whose passion for sport is immense.
"I used to train boxing but 2 years ago I crossed over to MMA when my friend acquainted me with this beautiful sport. I'm in love with the sport from the first minute I started training it. What else can I say, I love to fight, there is nothing better in the world!"
His last professional fight was against Claudio Conti who's also on the fight card for the Challengers 4. It has been a tough battle which he lost on points as judges gave the victory to Conti.
His next opponent, Becirovic, is unknown to Gorilla but he's training as hard as he can to prepare himself for the war inside the ring. "I'm training two times a day, both physicaly and psychologicaly. I'll be ready!"
"Gorilla" is one of many fighters in Europe who are trying to make the cut and position themselves on the WFC roster. He will have his oppurtunity next Saturday when prospects collide in Litija at Challengers 4.
